I encountered this error when trying to update group policy on a remote machine. I kept getting disconnected and it’s very frustrating reconnecting after every gpupdate. I found this tweak that will resolve this issue.

When group policy is refreshed the policy settings are deleted and then reset. During this time the configuration on the remote machine is temporarily valid. Which then all sessions may be disconnected.

IPv6 can cause some problems for applications that are not configured to use IPv6. By default IPv6 is enabled with Windows, disabling it can be tricky because even after you deselect Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” in the connection properties of your device it still doesn’t disable all IPv6 components. You can verify this by running ipconfig /all. Therefore to truly disable IPv6 you have to modify the following keys in the registry.

First I would suggest running this PowerShell command to un-check the IPv6 setting on all your network adapters, if you’d like to select just one particular you can use the “Get-NetAdapterBinding” command to get the “-Name” value for the adapter you wish to set.

It’s important to note that this command will un-check all “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” settings from all adapters.

0 to re-enable all IPv6 components (Windows default setting).
0xff to disable all IPv6 components except the IPv6 loopback interface. This value also configures Windows to prefer using IPv4 over IPv6 by changing entries in the prefix policy table. For more information, see Source and destination address selection.
0x20 to prefer IPv4 over IPv6 by changing entries in the prefix policy table.
0x10 to disable IPv6 on all non-tunnel interfaces (both LAN and Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP] interfaces).
0x01 to disable IPv6 on all tunnel interfaces. These include Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), 6to4, and Teredo.
0x11 to disable all IPv6 interfaces except for the IPv6 loopback interface.

If you are trying to disable IPv6 completely I would recommend “0xff” because this value also configures windows to prefer IPv4 over IPv6.

When installing an application you get this error message “The profile for the user is a temporary profile”. This happens after installing a security update: MS14-049. This update affects the execution process of the Windows Installer. To bypass this, set the following registry key and it will ignore this prompt and continue with the installation.

I ran into an issue where after deploying an image with SCCM 2012 R2 the client would not pickup the PKI certificate. If you are not receiving packages from your server this could be why. To resolve this you have to modify the “ProvisioningMode” registry key and clear the value in “SystemTaskExcludes” registry key. To simply this and make sure this is working on all clients I would recommend pushing this registry setting out through group policy.
